Do you want to send an Easter basket to a college student, but you don’t want the entire thing to be filled with candy? Here are 25 non-candy items for you to include.

25 Non-Candy Easter Basket Ideas For College Students

1. Frisbee

With the popularity of frisbee golf growing a frisbee (or disc) is a great addition to an Easter basket.

2. Water Bottle

3. Plastic Eggs Filled With Quarters For Laundry

If your college student doesn’t bring home his or her dirty laundry when they run out of clothes, then chances are they need quarters for the laundromat. Help them out by filling plastic eggs with some and placing them in their Easter basket.

4. Gift Cards

Gift cards are always appreciated by college students no matter what the dollar amount.

12. Pens

With bullet journaling being all the rage, you can get pens in just about any color imaginable and if your college student is a lover of all things stationary she or he will love any shade you pick. Of course, you could just make it easier on yourself and purchase a multi-colored pack.

13. Sticky Notes or Flashcards

Even in this day an age of an app for everything college students still use sticky notes and flashcards on a regular basis.

14. Coffee Or Tea

15. Scented Candles

Dorm rooms can get very smelly, scented candles can help with that. If you are shipping your Easter basket, get scented tea lights instead so you don’t have to worry about glass breaking in transit.

16. Magazines Related To The Student’s Area Of Study

Did you know that you can earn points towards magazine subscriptions through RecycleBank? It is pretty easy to earn enough points for one too. Pick out one that matches the interests of your college student and address the subscription you earn to them.

17. Adult Coloring Book

Coloring is a great way to soothe away study stress so why not add a new coloring book to your student’s collection?
